ARF program activities are based on received grants, besides we also provide targeted support to those people affected by problems connected with drugs, their families and friends.

It is difficult to get grants on this activity that is why we collect private donations.

Currently, we are collecting money to buy a minibus for a mobile service for people who use drugs in Moscow. You can help us! Please donate on the GlobalGiving website and the link below. You can find a description of our project and donate here.

On January 2, a Grandpa Frost and Snow Maiden from the Andrey Rylkov Foundation visited five children from four families of drug dependent people and celebrated the New Year with them. This was an amazing New Year experience that filled our hearts with warmth and holiday joy. That’s why we decided not to write upbeat reports but rather, to just publish the impressions of those who took part in this interesting activity.

In 2013, the Ministry of Justice, supported by the courts, refused registration and official recognition to the first all-Russia association of sex workers, referring to the fact that sex work is under administrative and criminal punitive bans and therefore the right of association for sex workers is unjustified. In light of international human rights standards, in particular the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, this paper examines whether the overall punitive legal ban on sex work in Russia is discriminatory.
